Well, seeing as how the origin of the phrase is credited to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg’s breakfast cereal company, you’re not really wrong. The guy was pretty unusual, helping to popularize germ theory, which immensely helped the field of medicine, but also pushing eugenics, the movement that in part inspired Nazism. Ultimately, I wouldn’t give much weight to his ranking of meal importance.
Edit: looks like I was wrong - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes along with his brother, but it was the brother who went on to start selling them, even after John told him not to.
I see breakfast as part of the time when you’re getting ready for the day. I am not sure what else to respond to why it’s shocking to me, it just is. I am also more likely to skip lunch than breakfast.
As an American who doesn’t eat breakfast, I’m curious why that is shocking to you?
People say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
I’ve always assumed that was propaganda pushed by big breakfast. /s

Kellogg was also a religious nutjob.

I think a lot of Americans simply are too sleep deprived to either have the time or energy to ingest anything other than caffeine in the morning.
